"Natsu. Natsu. Natsu."
"Shut up!" Sting hissed peering into the small room from a gap in the door. He watched the figure under the tattered sheets still then whimper from a cry threatening to come out. The blonde soon left the room and headed back up the stairs he had came down from.
"Sting there you are." He heard someone say when he rounded the corner after locking up the door he came through.
Rogue stood with a smile on his face. He had fewer bandage wrapped around himself. His skin regained a healthy glow. He still grimaced as he walked slowly toward his better half. "What have you been up to? The others said you haven't been around lately."
"Oh well I been locked up in the office doing boring old payments, ya know. The stuff your not allowed to do per Porlyusica's orders." The blonde man said with a smile as he lead his friend away.
"Well I feel a lot better now. I could help with something."
"No no no, you need to rest till your fully recovered."
Rogue looked at Sting's face then looked away. "Alright then."
"Hey Yukino!" Sting called out when the two co masters walked into the large room used for Sabertooth members to dine in. "You mind getting us something?"
The woman across the room with short white hair nodded her head then went through double swinging doors. The two men sat at a table away from the other men hunched over eating or talking.
"Did you make any moves on Fairy Tail?" The raven hair man asked lowly.
Sting gritted his teeth in a way that the other man won't notice. Of course Rogue won't turn away from anything he planned. But on the other hand his plans weren't so drastic as the one he's already started on and he didn't want to stress his friend with the details. "No, I have been brainstorming somethings."
"Here's lunch." Yukino came toward them with two plates of a sub sandwich with a side of potato chips. She had a soft smile when she set the plates down in front of the two men. "I'll bring you both something to drink." She had said before walking away again.
"I'll just need a few days more of rest and I'll be able to come up with ideas with you. That master Natsu, he was a idiotic boy who knew nothing when he succeeded his dad. We will outsmart him." Rogue declared picking up a chip and popping it into his mouth.
Just as Sting was about to speak, the swinging double doors swung open so hard they hit the wall. Rufus came through the doors with a frightened expression. Everyone in the room went silent as they watched the long hair blonde walk straight for the Co masters.
"Sirs you have a visitor." He gulped as the last word flew out his mouth.
"Huh? Who could possibly be coming now?" Sting growled out.
"She's in your office."
Sting and Rogue instantly stood up and pushed passed Rufus to their joint office knowing all too well who 'she' is.
When they reached their office doors, they entered and saw her seated on Sting's desk without a care. Three men dressed in black suits stood on either side of her with a smug looks on their faces.
"E-Erza?" Rogue said in disbelief while Sting kept a straight face.
The scarlet woman's dark eyes settled themselves on the Co masters then a scowl formed on her lips. "What is the meaning of this?" She asked blankly to which neither men responded to. "What is it with your rivalry with Dragon Lord must you hurt innocent people?"
Rogue was puzzled by this. Sting's face harden more.
"Between our guilds, we had signed to fight as we want but never shall we involve outsiders. Your father's both signed and taught you that very rule as my own mother did." Erza bared her teeth a bit to rattle fear into both men. "Natsu was taught the rule all the same. We all play different roles. So when I find out who caught that civilian girl, one of you will pay dearly."
"Do I make myself clear? Or should I ram sack this whole guild hall?"
"No." Sting said stepping forward. The action alone made the mistress of Fairy Tail raise a brow. "I mean it's unnecessary for it to be done when we done no wrong. Those people in Dragon Lord could have made up a lie for all you know."
"Hm, whatever the matter might be I will be investigating." The scarlet woman hopped off the desk she sat on and walked straight out the room between Sabertooth's co masters as the three men she came with followed after her.
"What aren't you telling me Sting?" Rogue asked once the doors clicked shut, standing in place not moving an inch.
He blonde looked down at the ground with his teeth clamped down on each other. "I want to hurt him."
